I'm with Martin - do not see the attraction & it ruins an otherwise pretty front end.

Don't look too bad on a green Glee but still prefer it without.

Green is appropriate.  :-x

The only one I've seen advertised is from PowerBronze and not only is it a tad expensive, it also looks cheap and nasty. I do like the green though.

This is the genuine part off the 2015 xt it comes in 2 parts that fit as a direct replacement and cost about £60rrp from a Suzuki dealer
